Sure there's quite a big difference, but it's the same basic idea, a concept which through independent enquiry may only occur to you after period of time x has elapsed instead is presented to you in a shorter period of time than period x. That doesn't necessarily mean you don't critically analyse the presented concept, or that you don't analyse other aspects of the problem space merely because you have neatly parcelled answer handed to you, it's just a single aspect which you did not independently need to construct.
